Chapter 3621 Zhao Chang'an's Logical Line

When Xia Wenzhuo saw that Zhao Chang'an didn't respond to his request not to interfere in the affairs of One Nano Star City, especially the investment direction and decision-making, he knew that there was no point in discussing it.

She couldn't quite put her finger on whether she was angry or not; she knew Zhao Chang'an had his own reasons.

Xia Wenzhuo knew that her business acumen was far inferior to Zhao Chang'an's. Since being invited by Ye Zi to join the new portal website company transferred by Dong Jisi, which was renamed Zhuozi, and then merged into the One Nano System, and later took charge of Cretaceous, she really didn't have any outstanding decisions to boast about.

The highlight is her consistent efforts in developing original web pages and mini-programs for the Shanghai Secondhand Trading Network and the Second World website. Now renamed Taoshang.com, the Shanghai Secondhand Trading Network is showing tremendous potential for transformation under Liu Yihui's leadership.

The Second World was managed by Chu Shaozhi, who recruited hundreds of programmers for development. Opening a webpage and clicking on the game you want to play will bring up a subpage, allowing you to play the game on the webpage without downloading it.

Furthermore, registered members of the OneNan system can download most web games to their computer hard drives for offline gaming, making it one of the most popular mini-game download websites in China.

However, although these two websites were founded by Xia Wenzhuo, it was Zhao Chang'an who truly endowed them with competitive and forward-looking content.

On the contrary, during this same period, Zhao Chang'an built an unknown small company into what it is today.

It is obvious that Zhao Chang'an has great ambitions for Nanyang. However, Xia Wenzhuo cannot understand that in such a business environment, if one nanometer wants to make a real achievement here, even if it works hard, isn't it afraid of being discarded after being used and plundered?

Many of the business cases that have occurred here in recent years have not followed this template.

In fact, she had come up with a solution: to cooperate with some smart and insightful local managers to share the benefits and explore and mine new resources, instead of trying to take away other people's share of the market in industries like palm oil and rubber.

These managers are definitely not backers of family conglomerates like Luo, Chen, Qu, and Huang; instead, they choose partners like the Liang family who understand true win-win cooperation.

However, Zhao Chang'an clearly had no interest in developing the mineral resources here. So how could he guarantee, or what gave him the confidence, that others wouldn't take advantage of him in these business sectors he wanted to enter?

Xia Wenzhuo also voiced this question that had been on his mind.

"You should familiarize yourself with these businesses first. In the long run, Nanyang is not a good fit for you."

Zhao Chang'an's sudden words startled Xia Wenzhuo, who turned his head and gave him an unhappy look: "What, did I not do well enough and failed to satisfy President Zhao? Are you planning to send me back to China?"

“I have no complaints. I brought you here because I know you inside and out. I can easily guess what you’ll do once you arrive.”

Zhao Chang'an saw Xia Wenzhuo raise her eyebrows, then gently took her soft hand in his: "We don't need to bring them advanced exploration, mining, smelting, and power technologies, increase their tax revenue, or enhance their voice in the global mineral and energy sector. Nor do we need to support their agricultural and sideline industries. In the long run, we should treat them as a dumping ground for domestic industrial products and a resource procurement market for agricultural and sideline products. Throughout history, they should have existed obediently as subordinate entities. In recent years, they've thought they've clung to the coattails of foreign powers, acquiring some insignificant wealth through power and monopolies, and dare to call themselves 'Little Dragons,' 'new forces,' and look down on their former masters. I really don't know where they get their confidence."

"But the impression you give me is that you don't have a clear enough idea of ​​your business goals in Southeast Asia, is that right?"

Xia Wenzhuo had this idea before, but Zhao Chang'an always did things in a very unpredictable way, which often left people confused. However, in the end, it proved that he had a forward-thinking vision.

Especially last year, when he withdrew a large amount of investment from China to enter the North American market, he was severely criticized in China. However, in just a few months, he was hailed as a business tycoon by those who had previously criticized him. "Yes, and very clearly."

Zhao Chang'an answered without hesitation, and his answer was concise and to the point.

"what is that?"

"I have already said."

"But I don't think you said anything of real value. In fact, I think many of your statements are contradictory and cannot be explained in a logical way."

"It's not contradictory. If you can't figure it out, don't worry about it. You'll understand in time. Since you're interested in these kinds of cash crops, spend two years getting familiar with them and preparing for your trip to Africa. The team you led in Southeast Asia can also go there. You can do anything there—agriculture, animal husbandry, mining, oil, gas—as long as you're willing. I won't interfere."

"Africa?"

Xia Wenzhuo laughed: "If I really wanted to go to Africa, I could go right now. Why waste time here?"

"The timing isn't right yet, and when it comes to entering Africa, I hope it will start as a friendly effort to help with agriculture and animal husbandry. If you're interested in Lanfang, then go ahead and do it. Besides palm oil, rubber, cocoa, and spices, keep an eye on the quinine cream product. I remember mentioning it to you before."

Zhao Chang'an's first choice for the person in charge in Xingcheng was not Xia Wenzhuo, but Wen Ye. Only Wen Ye, who was of one mind with his brother, could better and more efficiently advance their plan step by step.

However, since Xia Wenzhuo had taken the initiative to suggest coming over, Zhao Chang'an didn't say much. This was the only family member Xia Wenzhuo had left, and it was only natural for him to come and search for her. Besides, the country needed Wenye.

Looking at it now, when it comes to keeping in step, women can only keep in step when doing things; otherwise, they really can't get it right.

Knowing Xia Wenzhuo still had questions, Zhao Chang'an said, "Trust my judgment. Africa is more suitable for you. And from now on, I have two purposes for Southeast Asia. The first is to use it as a springboard to enter the African business market, and you are doing quite well now. The second is that I don't mind setting up a company in Southeast Asia and losing hundreds of millions or even billions a year. Of course, I hope that the beneficiaries of these losses are the people of Southeast Asia. For example, we can build a large instant noodle factory, a ham sausage factory, and other light industries such as food, set up a large number of supermarkets, squeeze the profit margin very low, and build a reputation for excellence."

"Are you making money in China and spending it abroad?" Xia Wenzhuo laughed. "You're such a saint, so kind to the people of Southeast Asia."

"I'm learning about the Coca-Cola factory that caught fire."

Zhao Chang'an offered an explanation.

"A Coca-Cola factory caught fire. Oh, I never expected that Mr. Zhao, who works in the internet high-tech industry, would value the brand value of these traditional businesses so much."

"Let's not talk about this anymore. I'm going to Europe tomorrow, and I don't know when I'll be back."

Zhao Chang'an stroked Xia Wenzhuo's thigh: "This woman's legs are so white, straight, and very well-proportioned. When they're put together and lifted up, he can't get enough of them. Since Xia Wenzhuo is not someone who is easy to persuade, let's send her to Africa. There is a vast market and opportunities there, and she also has a certain connection with the Lu family."
